EL SQUID ROE –

The Vibe: The atmosphere at El Squid Roe is similar to a house party; with an MC to guide the crowd through the night and an environment that allows guests to feel free enough to dance on top of tables. A very popular choice for Spring Breakers.

The Music: Dinner time (when all ages are welcome) is mostly 80’s and Rock& Roll. Around 11pm they switch it up to throwback remixes of Pop, R&B, Rap and Hip Hop. After 2am, they add Latin and Reggaeton hits to the mix.

The Party: El Squid Roe partners with Chicabo to host a Spring Break concert series known as Baewatch Cabo. This year’s roster features four of the world’s hottest and wildest performers including Lil Dicky, Waka Flocka, Lil Yachty and Jessie Reyez. Stop in and try a yard-long container filled with your choice of drink!

THE NOWHERE BAR –

While this is a great spot to relax, have a drink and people watch, it’s only a small part of the actual club. Once you descend the steps into the main club area, you will find a large open dance floor surrounded by upholstered VIP booths, a plasma display screen, a ceiling of flashing lights, and even a dance pole. Don’t forget to get a selfie with the Pink Kitty mascot.
